UBO and custom DNS works for me in FF. Sometimes I still get blocked so off to an Invidious instance I go (and they’re ad-free too) to watch whatever content I was trying to view.

ETA lots of people use DNS to proxy to Albania which yt doesn’t run ads for that region, they report it works fine but I haven’t tried it personally

ARC Raiders looks way better anyhow.

Awesome thanks for that, and for welcoming us. Will get my act together and sign up SoonTM : )

Hi there! I’m investigating places to land when lemm.ee shuts down and lemmy.zip has a great defed policy and looks like a good place. One QQ is, will I be able to connect to the instance with a VPN? The pinned thread on this post seems to suggest it’s fine (try uploading the JSON with a VPN) but I want to be sure, as I don’t see any mention of this in the privacy policy or other legal docs. I know some instances block them, and I understand it’s to prevent abuse and ban evasion, however I use one all the time for enhanced privacy so it’s fairly important to me.

Thanks so much!

You mean like the increase to capital gains tax Carney killed in his first few days as acting PM? He wasted no time letting his crew at Stripe and Shopify know who he gets shit done for.

I’ve watched over 20 hrs of gameplay on YT and the very few bugs I’ve seen people post have been pretty minor and likely have already been patched. The state of this game puts most AAA releases to shame. Can’t wait.

Let’s be clear that this is a way to criminalize homelessness, nothing more. We all know they’re not gonna send the white collar or trades addicts to these places. In the Depression era vagrant laws and asylums served the same purpose.

I worked phone support a few years ago and did that at the end of a call with a customer. I was really tired and the person was kinda draining but nice, and for some reason my dog’s face slipped into my mind as we were ending the call, who I say k-love-you-thanks-bye to all the time.

It’s probably pretty obvious when terabytes of upload are accrued over a few days like what OP mentioned, by seeding 24/7.

Like most any paid VPN service they need to track bandwidth usage somewhat. They can’t see what you’re accessing but they can see how much of whatever it is. Windscribe also offers a free 10gb/mo plan so they do track it for that purpose as well, much like any VPN with a free tier would.

Saw a yt thing last night that over the past three months Tesla execs have sold over 175k shares too

CopWatch used to be pretty active and has apps for iOS and Android, but I see they haven’t been updated in a couple of years.

Walmart also partnered with Klarna if that means anything to folks reading this. I’ve seen for years companies like Affirm (AFRM) being backed heavily by Shopify (they have exclusive deals at this point and AFRM is one of Klarna’s direct competitors). The BNPL universe is coming for everything, including basic necessities like food now I guess. Affirm is also close with Amazon.

If you turn it on its side it’s a tunnel.

Check out Way Down Town filmed in and about Calgary’s +15 urban walkway system. Hilarious film.

• Swindled - Mostly white-collar true crime with dark humor and disdain aplenty.
• 404 Media - The folks who used to do the Cyber podcast before they left VICE and are doing far better work, indy.
• Better Offline - Another tech podcast by Ed Zitron. He loves tech and can’t stand how fucked up the tech-bros are making the whole thing, at our collective expense.

I’ve always liked Commento which can be self hosted, and you can set it up to be no sign-up/anon for users.

Thank you lemm.ee admins and welcome new folks! Newcomers, you picked the best instance by the way.

Shopify is already long gone. More pointing out how corruption follows the money. Nobody in sales of a top company is unaware of the fuckery going on inside said company.

A middle ground I do often is buy frozen pizzas and then add my own extra toppings. They’re usually so cheap and skimp anyhow that I look at it like buying a starter pizza shell.

Everybody poops
